Hello Friends of Astrology,
The new moon solar eclipse on April 30^th ushers in May and announces a very dynamic month ahead. The Taurus solar eclipse energy holds until the full moon, and it carries with it a lovely Venus Jupiter in Pisces energy of dreaming in your future, one of beauty, pleasure, and security. It is a wonderful new moon to meditate or journal with and to send wishes out to the universe of your version of the life you desire.

May is certainly a month to be ready for a wild and unpredictable ride; not necessarily negative, complicated?  Yes, Busy? Definitely!  With Venus being in the sign of fast moving, I want it now Aries and Jupiter jumping into Aries on the 10^th the normal slower pace of Taurus is agitated with let’s get moving now. Venus and Jupiter both bring opportunities to go after what brings joy and pleasure.

Mercury puts the brakes on too many impulsive decisions when the retrograde on the 10^th starts. Mercury is in the curious and communicative sign of Gemini. Mercury loves being in Gemini, it is a great time to catch up with friends while revisiting your favorite places. Traditionally Mercury retro is a time to double check your communication before you hit the send button, and make sure all is in order with paper work and agreements. Double check your ability to cancel w/o penalty on your reservations for vacay times for those just in case scenarios.

Mercury is retrograde until early June, and very strong. There is a side of Mercury that is known as the trickster; a little mischievous vibe that can find humor in the miscommunications between humans. If you already know someone who doesn’t quite get what you mean, make the effort to double check that what they think you meant is actually the point you are making. Otherwise a gulf can divide you and a friend over something totally unnecessary. 

The weekend of May 14^th with the moon in Scorpio leads up to the lunar eclipse on the 16^th @ 12:14 am EDT; this is the most intense and passionate full moon of the year. The eclipsed full moon is connected with Saturn, not so sweet and inviting. In fact this full moon in Scorpio will prompt us to eliminate that which is unnecessary so we can have more time, money, and energy to focus on whatever is most important. With Venus in Aries together with Chiron and vibrating with Uranus, healing old hurts that you have hung onto and shifting perspectives is liberating.

The Sun moves into easy breezy Gemini on Friday the 20^th and with the Moon in Aquarius it promises to be a fabulous weekend to chill with friends that are full of laughter and acceptance of your personal quirks. If the Scorpio lunar eclipse threw you for a loop and your mind is in a quandary over what action to take; then this weekend is great to get a helpful perspective from a friend.

As Mercury backtracks in its retrograde cycle it steps back into Taurus on Sunday the 22^nd bringing a slower and measured thinking process to choices ahead. That issue at work that riled up your emotions or an emotional drive to make a move in your living situation, career, or relationship gives pause. Suddenly the practical and material consequences bubble up to the surface for consideration.

Mars moves into fiery Aries on Tuesday the 24^th.  Mars revels in the sign of Aries, where it rules, and is ready to give you courage in risk taking adventures. This is a time to forge ahead and clear your own path to reach the destination you want rather than traveling a crowded road with others.

Venus moves into Taurus Saturday the 28th, the sign she rules, adding the urge to create your world just as you like it. With Venus in earthy, artsy, beauty oriented Taurus Memorial day weekend feels right when you make plans that include what you value most. The Gemini new moon is on Memorial Day, Monday May 30^th and has the dilemma of choosing what to do from the bucket of options presented. The astro dilemma is between Venus strong in Taurus wanting to sit, relax, and not be rushed and Jupiter and Mars in Aries wanting to do it all. With Jupiter conjunct Mars over the weekend over committing and over doing is so much part of the deal, by Monday it’s obvious that the choice is between a little of everything or relishing in your favorite activity.

With love, light, and gratitude,
Donna
